We have gotten a hold of several images depicting Crystal Tools in-game renders from Final Fantasy XIII, and may have visual proof that the Xbox 360 version of the game is already being developed.

Several Final Fantasy XIII in game renders utilizing the Crystal Tools engine surfaced online after apparently first appearing on the Japanese television channel TV Tokyo.

While this great news for Final Fantasy junkies like myself looking to drool over anything remotely associated to the game, the even bigger news is that a 360 controller was spotted on the desk of what appears to be one of the games developers.

Could the 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII already be underway despite Square Enix stating otherwise? Have a look at the images after the jump.

The image shown above clearly has Final Fantasy XIII content displayed on-screen while a 360 controller lays visible on the desk. It’s possible that this guy is draws inspiration from the 360 controller’s mere presence, however it is also possible that the 360 version is already being tinkered with. What do you think?

They’ll do everything on the PC first, then stamp the blu-rays/dvds. The guy probably just prefers the XBox controller. Retarded Penguin on October 6, 2008 3:49 pm MS has proven they like to throw money around. Maybe they paid Square extra to make sure a 360 pad is on each employees desk at all times. :P Iceman Pwns on October 6, 2008 4:02 pm If only we could all be as witty as you Retard. Pwn Xude on October 6, 2008 6:14 pm The 360 controller in the picture is use as a gaming pad for pc not for the 360!! you people should know that YOU CAN USE YOUR 360 CONTROLLER TO PLAY ON YOUR PC VIA A USB CABLE!!!
